## Per-finger macros
The trustlet reports *which* finger matched, so a finger can mean more than
"it was you". Two files, in two trust domains:
- **`~/.config/fingerprintd/fingers.conf`** runs a command as you, in your
session. This is how a finger opens an application.
- **`/etc/fingerprintd/actions.conf`** runs a command as root, and can mark a
finger as one that never unlocks.
### In your session: `fingers.conf`
```
# ~/.config/fingerprintd/fingers.conf
right-ring-finger kde-open camera
left-index-finger plasma-settings
left-thumb sh -c 'notify-send "hello from a finger"'
```
- using these requires the fingerprintd-agent service to be running.
### As root: `actions.conf`
```
# /etc/fingerprintd/actions.conf
# <finger> [no-unlock] [absolute command...]
right-ring-finger /usr/local/bin/toggle-something
left-little-finger no-unlock /etc/fingerprintd/panic.sh
left-thumb no-unlock
```
- `no-unlock`: the finger matches and the client is told it did not. PAM
sees `verify-no-match`, the standby unlock stays locked. The command, if
there is one, runs regardless.
- the command: an absolute path, run by root through `/bin/sh -c` with a
fixed `PATH` and `FINGERPRINTD_FINGER` set to the finger's name, detached
from the daemon with its stdio on `/dev/null`, so it may block or reboot
the phone without stalling the sensor.
- a line needs at least one of the two, and a finger gets at most one line.
- editing this file requires a restart of the fingerprintd service before changes take effect.
